When and how is Europe going to develop the unified financial markets and borderless financial products like loans, pensions and mortgages that the arrival of the euro promised? How is Europe to reduce obstacles to this integration? Are there alternatives to the harmonisation of national consumer protection regimes? How can we get rid of the patchwork of national rules and at the same time ensure the best services for users and savers?
